not a single player has told me to plan on raiding

A lot of us really enjoy the raiding here on p99!

Quite far from the truth.

Don't people remember live? TMO is chokeholding the raid scene agreed, but so did every other guild who was sittin on the pole position raid wise (ohaipun). Like I said before, the server created a monster out of TMO. If people didnt treat this 14 year old elf simulator like religion and pay all these retarded amounts of runed mithril tunics for pixels and accounts, then the evil force of the server wouldnt exist. The only way to immerse a nerd further in is to pay him to do it, and yalls the ones puttin numbers into their paypals

Wrong.

What I don't get is at this point is it not considered griefing to monopolize content to this extent? If a guild on this server composed of all high level characters made it a mission to go and monopolize every newbie zone in the game insuring that no new character could level up from 1-5 would the GMs not step in and stop them? Or would newbies have to run around trying to FTE rats and bats?

Plush, i like you but come on now griefing? It'd be pretty hard to monopolize 50+ mobs in 9+ starting zones, but in the raiding scene there is no where else to move to after being 2 and a half years overdue for velious, so we try to keep entertained with what we currently have to raid which is pretty limited considering the amount of level 60's on two and a half years of stagnant content

I think it'd be pretty interesting to see guilds doing this as a protest. Level 60 raid guilds killing everything in 1-5 areas. Occupy newbies zones like TMO/FE does raid zones! ¡Viva la Revolución! :P

Not sure what shitty server on live you played on, but if it was anything like P1999 then I feel sorry for you. Live was an entirely different scene on my server.

Two extra years really plays a part into the Kunark scene and when one guild monopolizes the raid mobs by selling epic pieces for huge plat amounts, buying accounts, and sitting on three different raid spawns, it's time for something to be done about it. Instead the dev's just sit back and let TMO ruin what would otherwise be a great classic experience for 95% of the server.

I played on Tallon Zek, so yes the circumstances were different then the bluebie-diehards that occupy P99; you didnt have top train guilds out of mobs; you just murdered them. I think you're trying to spin finite details away from the underlying cause. On live, this did happen. But guilds would just go reroll on other servers when they found the raid scene occupied: here we can't, because Nihi did on the only other classic server we have access to (that isnt a crock of shit). I just find this whole situation perplexing.. IB pulls shady shit to maintain the top slot, die by the sword they lived by. Baby TMO takes notes from the trailblazers, then when they gain their position of power, they're scum of the earth while only TMO members stand to point out what IB was doing when they had their time to shine.

Was just asking a question. A few days ago FC was in Hate with a full raid force clearing the zone when Inny popped and within moments TMO and FE were in there making a disaster out of our raid. How hard would it have been for you guys to come up and say "oh hey, this guild is already here with a sufficient force, let's back down for a while and let them try it out?" Instead of just turned into a massive cluster eff that literally ruined our evening. Even though we did manage to get FTE and awarded loot, we were denied a chance to even attempt the kill legitimately because of ePeen nonsense. This is the type of deliberate stomping on lesser guilds' fun that strikes me as griefing more than just trying to keep entertained.

I understand wanting to try and keep the game fun with nowhere else to go in the game but host a newbie race and give away some banked loot to the winner or have some in-game weddings to help lighten the mood on the server. I've grouped with bunch of TMO folks over the course of Plush's life and there's a lot of legitimately cool people there but why do I never hear stories of TMO magnanimity? It's just stomping and hoarding and stomping and more stomping. Is a Full Circle ranger or necro getting an epic really going to hurt TMO's chance at dominance in Velious?

your guild is lead by retards and it shows. after the ooa attempt and ninjaing dojorn it's clear that you deserve no sympathy. and you can thank fe for the clusterfuck since their tactic is just train mobs on inny pullers until they have the pull and then FFA the fte

tmo and fe go for inny because they want him. nothing is stopping you from doing the same
